Time-nut-PHK would vote for such a proposal, but programmer-PHK would be firmly set against it. When it comes to computers and timekeeping, "doing it right" has not been an option for decades. Given my painfully extensive experience with my own and other peoples time-bugs, I am now firmly in the "Call time(2), use that number, as a number, but dont modify it!" camp. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
